Question
Every night, my child wakes up several times during the nap, easily startled. What should I do?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may be experiencing sleeplessness due to a calcium deficiency or overexcitement before bedtime. It is recommended that parents reduce vigorous activities an hour before the child goes to bed to avoid excessive excitement. Additionally, consider supplementing the child with cod liver oil and calcium supplements to replenish calcium. If the child is breastfed, the mother herself should also supplement calcium so that the baby can absorb more calcium. Generally, effects can be seen within a week.
